Looking back… year 2010 was amazing. And there were times I was truly living life to the fullest – and others.. not so much.
I traveled across the nation and to Europe to do speaking engagements, media tours and appearances. I witnessed an Olympic team to be announced, and met the team. I watched a movie sitting a few rows from Adrian Grenier and Paris Hilton, yet it was George Clooney at the Oscars’ red carpet who took me by surprise and left me wordless.
I sat in a ski lift in Park City Mountain Resort while my friend Linda told me about a cool place called Rockport – a few months later I spent two weeks in Rockport eating lobster and working with a beach view.
I visited Stockholm, Sweden, just a few weeks before the royal wedding, and flew to Las Vegas on business trips more times than in any other place. I skied my first black diamond, tried snowboarding, and colored my hair to blonde.
I was at both Fashion Weeks in New York, and interviewing celebrities quit being nerve wrecking (well, unless it’s George Clooney, then I remain silent and mysterious).
The entire year, I worked hard for Collective Bias, and got hundreds of bloggers paid for the hard work they do and for the services they can provide for marketers.
I tripled my blog traffic here at Skimbaco Lifestyle. I started a few new blogs, quit writing a few blogs.
I made more money than ever in my life, and it was weird especially after being totally broke only a year before.
I’M GOING TO OWN 2011
By the end of the year I really found my focus and what I want to be doing in 2011. I am going to OWN 2011.
The past year my family has been very patient with me, and letting me to borrow time from them to build my career. This year I am committed in making better business decisions that are better for my family. If I am so lucky that I will find my way to the beach at Rockport this summer, there is no way I will spend it all indoors working. I am committed in not just building my brand and career, but making a career of living my brand of living life to the fullest. Last year I thought more than a few times “is this really living life to the fullest” and my answer “no” forced me to make changes in my life. I felt that I was going away from my original “plan” and that I needed to get back on track. I want to spend more time with my family and enjoy every day life. I am going to OWN 2011 and do something I absolutely love each day, and do it with my family and for my family. I’m going to OWN living life to the fullest in 2011.
